Hints to Horsemau,

Always keep to the RICH of the
road.
Caution the groom to screw the
nuts on tight after oiling. See tina,
the yoke straps of your double team
are not worn thin.
All saddles set better and are
safer if they have croupers attach.
ed.
Stun bling horses should have
the bearing reins reasonably tight
Examine bit to see that it is
not worn too much at the rings and
joints.
See that the horse is not hitched
too close, that he may not hit the
axle while speeding.
Ladies ri ding horseback should
see that the saddle girths are re
frightened if necessary.
Have the safety straps on the
shafts oiled occasionally and tn c
couplipg-bolts examined.
Never drive too near those on
horseback that they may not ge,
into your wagon wheel.
Always keep your lines well in
hand, so that 10 case your horse
SHES or suddenly jumps, or is of a
nervous disposition, you can con
troll him.
When you have your girl out be
careful as to which part of the road
you are on when you hand her the
reins, or she will run you into some
one sure.

The barbed wire fence must go,
ard the enormous profits made GU,
OF the patent will dwindle away by
slow but sure degrees. A judg
ment just rendered by the supreme
court Of New Jersey deals heavy
blow at what counsel in the case de-
cIared Is illegally an invention OF
the devil The case was one fol
recompense for fac colt, which
had been fatally injured in a wres
tie with a wire fence. The supreme
court holds that Gin looking at the
duty which the owner who erects 8
fence owes to his neighbor, it is to
be duty p rformed with reference
to use of the adjoining land, and il
that use be IN the way of pasturage
for cattle OF horses, 1t must be with
reference to the habits of such ami
mails in their playfulness, in their
disposition to stay and even in
their disposition to break tn rough,
and no owner has right, in erect
ing such barrier, to incorporate in
it that which in view of the natural
habits md dispositions of such ami
mails as would naturally be kept
upon the adjoining land would be
dangerous and likely to produce
injury. The plaintiff is entitled to
recover from the defendant, al
though he had bailed his colt to
the adjoining owner to be kept out
at pasture, and although the owner
knew of the existence of this wire"
The barbed wiremakers propose to
contest the decision.
